Elder abuse is hidden. It thrives in silence.
Survivors of elder abuse may be too frightened, too ashamed, or too sick to tell someone.
Family members, friends, and caring others may not recognize the problem or don’t know who to tell.
Elder abuse is hidden by the perpetrators.
Elder abuse exists in every community and every neighborhood. Most survivors of elder abuse live in the community and not in nursing homes. They are often targeted by family members or other people they know.
If you know an older adult who is being harmed, break the silence.
You can help stop elder abuse and mistreatment in your community.
